DPA 2015 Compact Wide Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The DPA 2015 Compact Wide Cardioid Microphone is for ambient pick up of a drum kit or other instrument groups. They work ideally as overheads to capture a balanced sound of the entire group of instruments, like a drum kit. 

Also, when recording instrument groups with complex radiation patterns, the wide cardioid (also known as hemispheric, subcardioid or hypocardioid) design covers a greater sound angle and is an excellent choice.

The DPA 2015 is constructed to withstand rough handling on a hectic live stage. It has a thicker, more robust body construction of brass that is very durable and known for its corrosion resistance and tolerance against metal fatigue. In addition to the heavy-duty materials used, the surfaces of the mic handle and grille are treated with a protective black chrome finish, which ensures more graceful ageing.

 

Key Features:

• Durable, reinforced construction
• Uniform wide cardioid directionality
• Spacious sound due to a wide cardioid pick-up pattern
• Natural and precise sound reproduction
• Compact design for unobtrusive placement on stage
